Package: xdelta3 Version: 3.0.8-dfsg-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, There is/was no upstream changelog with xdelta3. The only changelog is the debian changelog which doesn't tell/share what changes were made in a new release.
For e.g. from the recent changelog. xdelta3 (3.0.8-dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low * new upstream release (only minor changes) * Bug fix: "Please add watch file", thanks to Dmitry Shachnev (Closes: #735273). -- A Mennucc1 <mennu...@debian.org> Thu, 20 Feb 2014 12:20:22 +0100 Now I saw this when upgrading from xdelta3 3.0.7-dfsg-2 but it doesn't tell what changes were made. What would be nice is to have changelog.gz which are nothing but collections of commit messages in the release. For e.g. see alsa-util's changelog.gz /usr/share/doc/alsa-utils$ zcat changelog.Debian.gz | less alsa-utils (1.0.27.2-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. * Drop all patches: all were git cherrypicks. * Add aplay_fix_off_by_one_errors.patch from git: fix two off by one errors in aplay that prevented usage of the last available sample format. * Add systemd_service_typo.patch from git: fix typo in service file. * Add alsactl_home.patch: Add a new configure switch that allows one to configure the value of $HOME for alsactl invocations. * Pass --with-alsactl-home-dir=/var/run/alsa to configure, to avoid autospawned pulseaudio littering / (closes: #712980). * Hardcode the same in the sysvinit script. * Add systemd_restore_condition.patch: Check for the existance of the asound.state file before trying to restore anything. -- Jordi Mallach <jo...@debian.org> Sat, 19 Oct 2013 12:11:26 +0200 And this is from the changelog.gz Changelog between 1.0.27 and 1.0.27.1 releases (http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Changes_v1.0.27_v1.0.27.1) (Reformated as ASCII text) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ * alsa-utils + Core Release v1.0.27.2 Require alsa-lib 1.0.27. + ALSA Control (alsactl) alsactl: return back the udevrules_DATA rule for 90-alsa-restore.rules alsactl init: ca0106 file was omitted + Speaker Test speaker-test: Fix wrong wave file played back in chmap setup + amixer amixer: Print TLV of channel map controls amixer: fix print_dB for -0.99 .. -0.01 range amixer: Fix the hctl elem search bug It would be nice to have something similar like that.
